Description: Blue Forest Petrified Wood:Central Wyoming, USA, was the siteof ancient Lake Gosiute during the Early Eocene. Lake Gosiute was a large body of water surrounded by subtropical forest, thelake being part of a lacustrine complex that occupied the Green River Basin. Lake level risesepisodically drowned the adjacent forests, causing standing trees and fallen branches to become growthsites for algae and cyanobacteria, which encased submerged wood with thick calcareous stromatoliticcoatings. The subsequent regression resulted in a desiccation of the wood, causing volumereduction, radial fractures, and localized decay. The subsequent burial of the wood in siltysediment led to a silicification of the cellular tissue. Later, chalcedony was deposited inlarger spaces, as well as in the interstitial areas of the calcareous coatings.The final stage of mineralization was the precipitation of crystalline calcitein spaces that had previously remained unmineralized. The result of this multi-stagemineralization is fossil wood with striking beauty and a complex geologicorigin.
